Re: Maigrets Skyrim Album

[Maigrets]

Return to Solstheim. I really like this DLC so much. If only Morrowind could be remade using Skyrim's engine.

Scenery. That's an NPC walking down the path, not me.


Effects of the Dragon Aspect shout which increases strength and shouts. I only have the first 2 words but when I get the full shout the effect will cover me. It lasts for quite awhile as well.


Massacre werewolf style. SkyRe, I assume, or it might be (Immersive Creatures) adds lots more spawns especially of the Rieklings...and toughens them. They are like vermin.


Inside the Temple of Miraak. Just a random area.


Flaming Spiders which are used like scrolls. There are also exploding ones and other elements, including poisonous ones can be made.

[Fessels]

Great screenshots, especially the first two and the random part of Miraaks Temple. As for the mounted Rieklings...yeah that is Immersive creatures, because i ran into a group of them when i did a bounty quest for the City of Markath. Though little buggers when they are on their boars.

[Ailsa]

I absolutely love that scenic shot with the npc - it is incredibly beautiful. Definitely wallpaper material, in fact I think it would make a wonderful image to hang on the wall

[Maigrets]

Thank you both for the lovely comments.

I had to disable extra creature spawns in the MCM for Immersive Creatures, in Solsteim especially but it also happens in Skyrim. They keep spawning continuously and faster than you can kill them once you engage a group and it's caused my game to stop responding a few times. It's a known issue and will be fixed in the next version of IC.

To be honest i never noticed that so far, darn i need to start paying attention in game when it comes to spawn rates of creatures?

It only affects the Rieklings and mostly in Solstheim. For example you might see a group of them from a distance or if you're higher than them so you can see them all, and it might be say, 1/2 dozen or so, but as you aggro them, or they detect you, they start spawning everywhere as though they materialize out of the earth....

I'm eagerly waiting for the IC update as it's adding goblin tribes as in Oblivion with the possibility of their own dungeons, armoured wolves and dogs that accompany Imperial and Stormcloak patrols and other interesting things. And fixing the above problem.

Ah that might explain why i have not noticed it then, i mean i get to fight rieklings in Skyrim...both mounted version and the foot soldiers so to speak. But that is pretty rare that you meet a large group of Rieklings in Skyrim. And i can not wait for the SiC update, Lifestorock is doing an amazing job with his mod.

Only one pic so far and crappy lighting, but this is my new character. I planned to make her a sneaky cat who uses Illusion to control the minds of others and failing that a nice strong bow to turn them into pincushions. Still want to do that when I can afford to buy the spells, but at the moment I've run into a glitch with the first dragon fight at Whiterun so I need to find out what's causing it. I suspect it's something to do with Dawnguard and vampire attacks.

I say that because the first time I tried Irelith and the guards started to move to their respective places and suddenly they fled back to Dragonsreach and stayed there. However, the quest marker pointed to the watchtower so I went there and waited and they turned up after waiting (T) for a couple of hours, that is after trying to move them from Dragonsreach. I did see dead vampires near the gate and other NPC's fleeing to their houses, so there was an attack. However, military and guards aren't supposed to flee...the cowards.

Anyway, we killed the dragon, but after the fight they all stayed near the tower cowering in fear and wouldn't react to me. Plus the dragon didn't burn and therefore, no soul and continuing the quest. Second attempt earlier in the afternoon... By the time we got talking to the Jarl etc it was later evening and although everything progressed as it should the same thing happened after the fight was over. Third attempt...same result. So, I'm going to go back to a save before I got the speech about the Dawnguard from the recruiter...ie a whole level and a lot of content I've done from the mod Falskaar.

I "think" the reason why the dragon didn't burn up is because it's a scripted event relying on dialogue from the guards and that's not happening because they are cowering like little kitties near the tower. This has never happened before in any playthrough so I hope it works this time.

Anyhow....

Chirra says hello and warm sands to her Skyrim friends.

[Fessels]

Ohw i like her looks, with those leopard spots i mean. A fast and sneaky killer,who likes to mess with her opponents mind.

[Ailsa]

She has an air of mystery about her I really like that.

[Maigrets]

Thanks Ailsa and Fessels.

Yes, I found the leopard spots texture here.
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/23119/? (For some reason the link doesn't work unless you copy and paste it. Might just be the forum. Happens sometimes)
It's for UNP and female only but works with Cover Khajiits. It's not a replacer so it doesn't affect other Khajiits. I ended up not making her look so orange in the end... Unfortunately it doesn't have a face texture to match but it works out with some tweaking.


I fixed my quest problem by going back to before I reached level 10 and also removed When Vampires Attack. By reading the comments the mod doesn't seem to work for a lot of people post 1.9 patch and has the same issues as I had with people not coming out after the attack so it bugs things. Now I'm using Random Vampire Attacks in Towns Disabled by Quazzy (Oblivion Unofficial Patch) to get rid of the damn things altogether. However, people say it also doesn't work as intended after the 1.9 patch so I'll wait to find that out.

I will bookmark the Khajiit leopard body texture mod, , should be useful for the future. As for the other mod you mention...well i will take a look at that one once i can get Nexus to load again.

They have been suffering almost non-stop Ddos (?) attacks recently - the things I would wish on hackers if I could LOL

Yes, things that can't be said in polite company...

Losers

Yeah i saw that on the Bethesda forums, and like the article on Nexus mentions...it is vacation time so lots of kids who think they are cool by doing things like that.

[Maigrets]

Chirra may be a cat at heart and a bit uptight, but she's fairly outgoing and generally makes friends easily, like the husky she's adopted..........

BUT....she has a big secret. One that would get her killed on sight if anyone knew, or saw something they shouldn't see. Chirra has also spread this secret to others so they can join her on hunting parties. When the beast rises at full moon, and at other times of her choosing, Chirra feels a freedom never before imagined. She would only be happier if the beast within were a werecat (not a house cat..., but a really, really big cat.)

Puppy Love (might be a bit dark)


Face. I am still so impressed with the Cover Khajiit textures. They look like real cat fur in game.


Oww!, oww! oww!...that hurt Goblin mage....your tribesmen are dead, now you will feel my teeth and claws....


Treehouse. Just right for a cat to keep an eye on the surroundings below.


Chirra learns to speak a word so she can sprint faster. She is already very fast and agile though, but it could be useful.


Sporting a shield taken from a goblin "tribesperson"....now deceased. I think I'll keep it as it suits our style. For the time being anyway.

[Ailsa]

She looks superb

[Fessels]

She looks superb

Indeed she does.


MrLenski really has done a great job with Cover-Khajiit, when playing a Khajiit character i always install that one as well. As for Chirra's secret...well that must be why the Husky likes her and her hunting friends. The screenshot with the Husky looks really great, and is not to dark at all. The Goblin Shaman looks like a real pain in the butt with his( Its? ) lightning attack, i hope Chirra did not choke on the smell when she killed him The tree house looks interesting on the outside alright.

[Maigrets]

Thank you both.

Here are some shots from the very excellent Falskaar, except for the first one. A few of them are using Predator Vision which saturates the colours and looks really nice, besides that I can see living things before they see me in werewolf form. Especially if there are guards around with crossbows...they hurt.

Little Cardinals in the Eldergleam sanctuary. I just love the birds mods.


Sunset. Everything looks beautiful with the Climates of Tamriel patch.


Wolf brother....what big teeth you have. I set up Werewolf Mastery so wolves don't attack me in both werewolf and human (Khajiit) form. I also found this mod some time ago that gives wolves real wolf sounds and it's very eerie on dark nights. Much better than the default sounds.


Amber Creek


Moonscape


Group Shot.... What are you looking at Lydia?


Hot Springs


Come on, jump! I did it and I'm OK.

[Fessels]

Yeah Predator vision is a great mod from Gopher, at first it thought that you hat brightened several pictures because you thought those pictures where to dark. But then i saw you use Predator vision.

Also for the Wolf sound link, i do like how it sounds. Yeah Werewolf mastery has great functionality, and wolves that are close to you when you get attacked will come to your aid. But considering the amount of followers you use you do not need their aid.

But as for the screenshots, i like the one with the Howling wolf and the Hot springs one. Also on the last one, that Husky is looking like it thinks..."You can say whatever you like furry master but i am not jumping down that deep."
